l GRAND BENEVOLENCE
THE WORK OF ONE YEAR.

TNHE great fraternal beneficiary society, known
i as the KNIGHTS OF HONOR, which has
so rapidly extended itself all over the United
States, did grand work in 1886. During the
year 1885, there was distributed in local charities
through the medium of 2600 subordinate lodges
scattered throughout the country, $l20,OO0. This
fund was distributed without any cost of dis
bursement. and went at once and most oppor
some one in the aggregate, yet it was distributed
without being felt by any member, and was less
than $1.00 for each member Of the order. The
readiness with which the call for aid is respond
ed to by the membership is most commendable.
When Charleston was visited by the terrible
| earthquakes of last summer, liberal contribu-
tions were sent forward by the various lodges
throughout the country, and only ceased to go
forward when no more were needed.
Aside from these noble charities, this great be-
nevolent order teaches its membership to pro-
vide for those dependent upon them, when the
members shall be called away from earth. 1t
the family of every member who dies in good
standing in the order. This fund is raised by
assessments upon each individual member.
During 1886, twenty-one assessments were called
to the Supreme Lodge Treasury, and there was
paid out from the sum thus realized, in death
benefits to the families and dependents of de-
ceased members, during. the year, 50, 123,O 600.
These payments went, in the main, to those who
| otherwise would have left nothing for the sup
port of their families. They were enabled to do
this for the reason that the assessments are paid
in sums of one or two dollars per month for each
member, through the agency Of his Subordinate
Lodge.
When we add to this benefit fund of 50, l23, 900,
the $4,000 disbursed as local charities, we have
the grand total of 80. 243, 900 disbursed by the
KNIGHTS OF HONOR during 1885, What a
noble work was this, and how many widows and
orphans have been kept from want, and comfort
ed in the hour of distress and need, by the quiet
but effective labors of this great brotherhood.
HOME RELIEF LODGE OF YORKVILLE
is in prosperous condition, but its efficiency for
the benevolent purposes Of the order would be
improved by increased membership. To give
all who would avail themselves of the opportu-
nifty to join the fees for initiation in the Lodge
have been reduced to the lowest figure, thus
placing it upon footing with other mutual asso-
Citations, while attendance upon the meetings is
not enjoined. Full particulars for obtaining
membership in the Lodge will be cheerfully
given on application to DR.. J: F. Lindsay, Med
ical Examiner, A. w. Ingold, Reporter, or the

The railroad made the point that at Ben
nettsville they had to meet competition
with water transportation by the Pee Dee
River, the landing on which, however, Is

AS the route over which the freight was
sent from Charleston has a portion out
side the State, taking in Wilmington ana
Shoe Heel, N. c., and thence coming back
into South Carolina, there was some ques-
tion of. the Jurisdiction of the Commits
sioners.
The Board held that it did have juris-
diction as the point of departure and ar,
rival are both in this State. They also held
that there was discrimination and viola
tion of the law in charging higher rates,
as while the law recognized lower rates at q
competing point, they did not consider
Bennettsville competing point on account
of water transportation, for the reason that
the river landing was so distant from the

creditors. Mr.. Swygert has been merchan-
dising in the county for number OF years
past. He has always done a large business,
his customers residing for the most part on
Broad River and its tributaries. The dis
astrous floods Of the past year made it i'm
possible for them to meet their obligations,
and this made it impossible for Mr.. Swygert
to meet his own obligations and continue
business, and hence the assignment. His
liabilities are stated at $50, 900; nominal as
sets, $4,000.
